Finally I got some time to do this. I was tagged by Sarah to do this desktop screenie thing. And to those I mentioned after this, you’ll have to do the following.

  1. Upon receiving this tag, immediately perform a screen capture of your desktop. It is best that no icons be deleted before the screen capture so as to add to the element of fun. You can do a screen capture by:
    1. Going to your desktop and pressing the Print Scrn key (located on the right side of the F12 key).
    2. Open a graphics program (like Picture Manager, Paint, or Photoshop) and do a Paste (CTRL + V).
    3. If you wish, you can “edit” the image, before saving it.
  2. Post the picture in your blog. You can also give a short explanation on the look of your desktop just below it if you want. You can explain why you preferred such look or why is it full of icons. Things like that.
  3. Tag five of your friends and ask them to give you a Free View of their desktop as well.
  4. Add your name to this list of Free Viewers with a link pointing directly to your Desktop Free View post to promote it to succeeding participants.

Ok, so here’s my current desktop…

(click to enlarge)

I don’t have any shortcut icons on my desktop, that’s because I don’t like it messy and I don’t want to cover Belldandy. Yes, that’s her from the manga/anime Ah! My Goddess (Ah! Megami Sama). It’s somewhat childish or girlish, but hey she’s my most favorite anime character. That wallpaper has been in my desktop for, I think, more than two years now. The screenshot is recent, but I’ve already posted that on the “Post Your Desktop” thread at Darkmoon since April last year, so it hasn’t changed until now. The Belldandy on the right is the skin of my Winamp media player.

There are no desktop icons, so I should just name the icons on the system tray and quick launch toolbar.

I don’t want many programs running in the background that’s why my system tray has only a few items (from left to right).

  • That blue monitors is my uber-slow Internet connection at home.
  • The smiley is the Yahoo! Messenger. I’m always online. Well, not really.
  • Winamp media player, it’s open 95% of the time my computer is running. It’s always playing even when I’m downstairs or sleeping.
  • The red circle is my anti-virus/firewall software BitDefender.
  • Lastly, the volume controls. I just use it to adjust the Mega Bass function of my soundcard because when I play a DVD video, the audio sounds like its breaking… sometimes.

My quick launch toolbar contains programs that I mostly use when I’m connected to the Internet (from left to right).

  • Mozilla Firefox. My most used and favorite web browser.
  • Internet Explorer. Just to check and view my website if IT IS PROPERLY ALIGNED AND THE LAYOUT IS NOT MESSED UP. Stupid IE.
  • Outlook Express. This is where all my POP3/SMTP email accounts are contained. I’m planning to switch to Mozilla Thunderbird, because you know Microsoft products contains lots of security risks.

Other shortcuts that are found in my quick launch toolbar are: Azureus, Bit Che, RapidUploader, MSN/Live Messenger, Frostwire, ImTOO YouTube, FeedReader, Google Talk, Yahoo Messenger, FlashGet, and Website Submitter.

Done. Now I’m tagging Gwacie, Erika, KC, Khate, and Randy it’s your turn.
